Today, I went to see Star Wars with my brother. The entire time he talked about how scientifically inaccurate and improbable the entire movie was. FML

Today, I sat through 9 gruelling hours of Star Wars with my boyfriend. I hate those movies with a passion and frankly would rather get a pap smear from Wolverine than watch them. Afterwards, he dumped me for yawning, saying that I didn’t take a “serious” interest in his favorite things. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I binged Star Wars. Now he keeps talking about how the Empire is superior to the Republic, digging up Reddit threads / YouTube videos / expressing his own political ideas to convince me of this. I just wanted to watch the movies. FML

Today, my boyfriend of two years said he would finally take me somewhere romantic. I spent my day at a Star Wars convention. FML

Today, at our wedding, my groomsmen had a lightsaber fight on the dance floor. Everyone was laughing and the kids loved it. My wife burst into tears, started screaming that we ruined her fairytale wedding, and stormed out. Our entire relationship started when we met at the cinema when Star Wars was on. FML

Today, I was watching Star Wars : Attack of the Clones, and Yoda was using the force to move a heavy object. While in the middle of my loungeroom, I instinctively put my hand up to use the force to help him, infront of my father and sister. My sister will never let me live it down. FML

Today, I had an in-depth conversation at work about how technically Luke Skywalker was never a Jedi Master. Highlight of my working day. FML

Today, I went to the movies with my boyfriend. The movie was in 3D, and he couldn't help but notice it would be much cooler if you could feel what the characters did. He spent the next two hours slapping me every time the person in the movie did, claiming the movie would be "better". FML

Today, I took my Catholic girlfriend home to meet my family for the first time. My brother thought it would be civil to spend over an hour insulting her religion and explaining in detail the many ways in which "the Force" is superior. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to see the new Avatar movie I’ve waited over 10 years to see. After it was over, she just said, "That was utter shite, why did you bring me here?" Entire experience ruined. FML

Some people don't deserve access to Sci-fi, or fantasy for that matter. Everyone has thoughts about how unlikely parts are in films, but keep them to yourself, at least until the film is over

I went to see the Jurassic World movie with some friends and their friends, one of my friends friends got so fed up with the inaccuracy of it, he throws the popcorn on the ground.

It's about a war...in space... How accurate is it really going to be?

If you go to a movie expecting it to be true to real life you're going to have a bad time

It's a movie that takes place in space. With swords made of light. Did he REALLY think ANY of it was going to be scientifically plausible upon entering the theatre? It sounds almost like he wanted an excuse to complain or wanted attention in a "look how smart I am, this movie is dumb" kind of way

Ugh I hate people like that. Films like Star Wars aren't meant to be realistic!

It's not meant to be realistic, it's science fiction/fantasy. Fiction and fantasy being the operative words. I thoroughly dislike the anal people who go out of their way to show how "smart" they are by pointing out the things that are "improbable" - they're missing the entire point of the genre and making themselves look like assholes. I hope you "accidentally" poured your drink on him.

It IS scientifically inaccurate and improbable. What's his point?

The struggle of watching Doctor Who with someone who isn't familiar with it. My mother felt the need to say how it didn't make any sense every five minutes. I feel you, OP.
